/srv is used for data that are served to other systems, see the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard at [1]. If you don't provide any
services, you can safely delete that directory, this is what I did.
For the reason why /selinux is shipped with the libselinux1 package, see
#498010[2] and some other (archived) bugs in the libselinux1 package.
